[Sam] No.

Did...

[Napoleon] My grandpa just did.

Oh, Napoleon.

Is...

Is nothing to be

scared or worried about.

Just means that...

my grandpa's free

to do what he wants to now.

See, thas just his old body in there.

You know, my grandpa said that...

nobody ever really dies because...

the thing thas real inside of you

goes on and on forever and ever.

I think thas very beautiful,

Napoleon, but...

who's going to look after you now?

My uncle.

Where's he?

- In New York.

- When's he coming?

I don't know just yet.

He's supposed to write.

Whas it say?

"Unclaimed mail."

Do you know what that is?

I think it means that

nobody was there to get the letter.

Napoleon...

was that your only uncle?

Haven't you got any more relatives?

- No.

- You'll have to live at the orphanage.

Thas where they put people

that don't have any relatives.

- I won't go.

- They'll make you.

No, they won't.

I won't tell anybody my grandpa's dead.

You can't keep that a secret.

Yes, I can. You better not tell anybody.

But they'll see the funeral.

There's not going to be any funeral.

I'm going to bury my grandpa

up there on our hill.

Where we used to sit

and watch the sunset.

Thas what he always wanted.

He told me that.

Well, who's going to do it?

I'll have to do it myself.

He's too big for you to bury.

Then I'll have to hire somebody.

Do you know anybody I can use?

You'll have to go see

the employment office.

You better hurry.

They probably close at five o'clock.

How you doing, general?

I'm a captain.

If you're a captain,

where's your hat?

I haven't got it yet.

I just became a captain.

Oh.

Sorry, thas all we have.

Don't you have just a little odd job?

I have to buy a book.

"Thompson's Theory

of Modern Organization."

We only deal with people who are

interested in regular employment.

Closed for now.

Well, thank you very much, ma'am.

Appreciate it.
